Former Fox News analyst Angela McGlowan, a Republican running for the chance to face Rep. Travis Childers (D-Miss.) in November, told a local radio show that she won't support GOP state Sen. Alan Nunnelee if he wins the nomination.

Nunnelee is the early front-runner in the primary and a favorite among Republicans in Washington. He was named to the National Republican Congressional Committee’s “Young Guns” program, designed to assist the party’s top recruits.

But McGlowan has been aggressively attacking Nunnelee’s record on taxes in the state Legislature, and told radio talk show host Paul Gallo that his background was bad enough that he couldn’t win her support.

Q: If you’re not the nominee, if you don’t win, if you happen to lose ... will you support the Republican nominee?

A: If it’s Henry Ross, I will.

Q: So in other words, if it’s Alan Nunnelee, you won’t support him? You’d support Childers?

A: I will support the Republican party. I will more than likely write a book about my experience about Mississippi politics ... and I will support the run against Nancy Pelosi and Obama.

Q: Angela, do you know how bad that sounds, though?

A: Philosophically, I do not agree [with him]; Alan Nunnelee is a RINO Republican. Alan Nunnelee is not a true conservative from my standpoint, he’s a RINO Republican. A Republican in name only.

Q: So in other words, you wouldn’t support the Republican nominee?

A: If it’s Henry Ross, I’ll support Henry Ross. ... I will not speak against Alan Nunnelee, but I cannot support signing a tax pledge and raising taxes, Paul, and that’s what he did!
